Roger Cohen writes today. Tunisia is not a WikiLeaks, nor Facebook, nor Twitter Revolution, it is a Dignity Revolution.
Noam Chomsky is warning us that irrationality can destroy humanity. I try here to give a realist appraisal of our standing as a species.
In a materialistic, as in Dialectical Materialism, interpretation; no group of misbegotten ideas coming from a fringe group of tea partiers is going to derail the world economy, no matter how fragile this economy may seem, and by the same token no incident in Nowhereville, will again depose a dictator anytime soon.
Nevertheless: shit happens, and we should be alert. I expect the masses to bring sanity to this elite irrationality governing our societies.
Truth will out!
Software tools can amplify the famed butterfly effect, to become the Mohamed Bouazizi effect. Like in Dr. Seuss' s Yertle the Turtle .
Yertle is named Bouazizi in this modern fairy tale.
I am hopeful, that many Yertles are coming to rescue us.
